We are accredited by the Ministry of Justice as a body that may carry out parentage tests directed by the civil courts. This means our DNA tests can be used to support applications for visas, citizenship, passport or leave to remain.

For such tests, your samples must be taken by an independent third party such as a GP/nurse, please note your GP surgery may charge for this service. Alternatively, you can have your samples taken by one of our registered sample collectors. These appointments can be arranged at a time and location that suits you. Fees apply for this service and are dependent upon the location and number of donors.

For overseas collections, we have an extensive network in various countries. Please note courier charges may apply.

Please ensure to take a form of photographic identification (current passport or valid full drivers license) and 2 recent passport sized photographs per donor to your collection appointment.

If you require a full parentage (maternity and paternity) report, there is an additional charge of £96.

We also provide testing for other biological relationships such as sibling (full/half), grand-parentage and avuncular (aunt/uncle). For more information or to order this type of test please call us on 0191 543 6434 or email us on [email protected].

NOTE that payment will NOT be taken online. Due to the complex nature of these tests we will call you to discuss the case further and to arrange payment.
